Echoes of fascism in Rajasthan Bhanwar Meghvanshi is a native of Bhilwara (Rajasthan). He feels sad to see that this place where Hindus and Muslims had been living peacefully for centuries has now become a hotbed of communal politics which gives rise to hate, communal tension and conflicts have become the order of the day mainly because of the activities and instigations of RSS and its organs like BJP, VHP, Bajrang Dal (BD), Kamal Congress (KC) (which is nearer to the BJP than to the Co...

All man-made philosophies are deceptions that alienate people from a belief in the existence of God and from His service. Buddhism's superficial understanding of morality is completely contrary to human natural pattern in many aspects. To an extent, it lets people avoid the torments of conscience that comes from having no religion and so, functions as a false source of spirituality. Believers in Buddhism console themselves with the idea that they have attained spiritual mastery by inflicting ...

Belief in Karma The doctrine of karma supposes that everything a person does will have its effect on him sooner or later, and will have a bearing on his so-called next incarnation. According to this belief, people are continually reborn into this world, where they must bear the consequences in that later life of what they did in a former one. Buddhism denies the existence of God and believes that karma is the unique power that governs everything. Karma is a Sanskrit word that means "act...

The erroneous beliefs of Buddhism vary greatly from country to country, because over the past 2500 years, this religion has mingled with the various local religions, customs, and established cultures of countries into which it has spread. Today, the varieties of Buddhism practiced in Japan, China, Tibet, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and America are all quite different from one another. In Tibet, the dissemination of Buddhist texts is one of the most important acts of worship. In particular, pri...

Huxley's Discovery of Buddhism An atheist religion, Buddhism doesn't accept the existence of God, an everlasting hereafter, Paradise, or Hell. It supposes that the human spirit is no different from that of an animal and believes in continual karmic returns to the natural world. According to Buddhists, a fish could come back as a mammal in a later life, and a human could come back as a worm. This idea of the "transmigration of souls" between species has important parallels with Darwin's t...

Panaji, March 18: A 61-year-old Catholic priest was found murdered in his room by parishioners who broke open his door on Saturday morning in South Goa. This comes in the wake of a series of unexplained and largely undetected destruction of crosses in this small state, which has a 25 per cent Catholic minority. But there were no indications of communal or political connections to the crime, even though news of the crime caused concern across the small state. Father Eusebio Ferrao of...

The All India Christian Council has expressed anguish over the arrest of Samuel Thomas, the Bishop of the Kota-headquartered Emmanuel Mission International, from Noida near Delhi on Thursday. The arrest, carried out by the Rajasthan police at "gun-point", was part of a witch hunt which had been going on in the State for the past one month in the name of a book, it stated. "Bishop Thomas has been arrested like a common criminal for no fault of his. The controversial book `Haqeeqat' was nei...

Reverence to cow is an article of faith in Hindu religion For Hindus killing of a cow is a serious crime.The ARTHASHASHTA prescribes death sentence for killing cow. And no wonder that during World War 2 American service men stationed in Calcutta -the then capital of India - were instructed that if a traffic situation arose in which a driver had a choice of striking a cow or a human he should hit the man and not the cow and proceed- without having to stop at a police station. Mr M.K Gandhi t...
